Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed
Baby was spayed about a month ago. Recently I have noticed that her stomach seems enlarged and she looks pregnant. Could it be possible that she was pregnant before getting spayed and still is? And if so, could she give birth safely?

If Baby Girl was spayed there is no way for her to get pregnant - the ovaries and uterus are removed in a spay surgery. I would recommend having her examined by your vet: it’s possible that she has a medical problem that has caused abdominal distention. It’s also possible that she has simply gained weight since the surgery - spayed cats have a slower metabolism and tend to be less active so they require fewer calories.
